<p>I&#39;m sorry to say this, but while Frank Haith is a DEFINITE recruiting plus, as an in-game coach he is pure GARBAGE. No matter what kind of talent he assembles, this man will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get the &#39;Canes into the Final Four, let alone a National Championship.</p>
<p>Anyone who&#39;s watched Miami melt down in numerous games this guy has coached can see that. I&#39;ve never in my life seen a guy who seems so unbelievably helpless when things go bad. When the team starts to get out of sync, instead of calling a timeout to calm his team down with a quick bit of wisdom and strategy, he just sits there watching the meltdown happen.</p>
<p>And when the &#39;Canes melt down, they REALLY meltdown. They go from a fantabulous team, to a team that makes you want to puke inside of a heartbeat. This game against NC was just the latest example. They were playing awesomely, and then it all started to melt down. Instead of playing as a team, they began to stand around as the player with the ball ran isos. NO MOVEMENT WITHOUT THE BALL WAS SEEN.</p>
<p>Did Haith call a time out and get his players to start moving without the ball, setting screens and opening up players for good offensive opportunities? Nope, just sat on his heels with a dumba@@ look on his face. And this would be fine if he had a player on the court who he could be reasonably expected to believe could handle those isolations and come up with some great plays.</p>
<p>I mean, if he had Kobe Bryant or DWADE on his team, he might actually have a reason to sit there and hope. He doesn&#39;t. McClinton was being abused by the NC defense. They were picking his pocket when he was left alone to run isos. And Hurdle wasn&#39;t fairing much better. Did Haith notice this and adjust his strategy? No. Did he call a time out and even look to some of his players or assistants for suggestions? No. He just sat on his butt like an idiot.</p>
<p>Oh, and the fact he didn&#39;t call a timeout IMMEDIATELY following NC&#39;s last shot before the half (with 4.7 seconds left on the clock as the ball went through the hoop), and instead allowed the clock to simply tick off, is the mark of a totally clueless moron. I say Haith needs to go. We need a head coach that can NOT ONLY recruit, but can actually coach his team during a game.</p>
<p>And if you feel this is too harsh, then you&#39;re simply someone who doesn&#39;t want Miami to win it all. The ONLY reason I root for Miami is to root to see them win it all EVERY year, in EVERY SPORT. Losing is NOT an option. Winning it all is the ONLY goal, EVERY YEAR. And if it&#39;s not for you, any other fan, any of the players, any of the coaches, or anyone else involved, then they need to get the frig away from the program, because they&#39;re simply holding it back. And if you disagree with my assessment of Haith, I can only say you&#39;re not watching the games, or you&#39;re as stupid and ignorant as he is.</p>jaime commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536dc4646970b2009-01-19T23:46:09Z2009-01-19T23:46:10ZjaimeMr Irrelevant: CAl only lost by 7 to USC.

NO UF team can compete with USC at this time. Cal is not that bad, and we played them at their house. regardless, UM is still relevant. I know for a fact there are tons of Cane fans in Cali. The fact that UM still brings ratings like this year means they are still in people&#39;s minds. You MFS hate us, or you love us. As for me, I could care s--t if the whole world hated us. The canes are the canes. Always have been. The world used to hate us and fear us. Now they just fear us, but not for long, the swag will be back. and youMF p--as-- b--ches from gainseville will be sweating bullets when yu come to our house, b/c thebeatdown in 2013 is already in the works mf.</p>

<p>1) Young&#39;s contract exceeds the est. $300,000 that Rivals &quot;believes it may be.&quot; I know through an insider - that mentioned to me upon his hire the net amount. And it exceeds the est. $300,000. So, I can say if he were to go it wouldn&#39;t be a &quot;money issue.&quot;</p>
<p>2) T. Boone Pickens - is presently sucking wind, economically that is. </p>
<p>He&#39;s in the oil business and if you haven&#39;t noticed, oil has DROPPED from $140/barrel to $40/barrel.</p>
<p>3) Because of this drop in oil prices <br />
ALL MONEY FROM T.B.Pickens to OSU has STOPPED! <br />
This has been written about by the major media outlets. ALL construction work has STOPPED on their State of the Art Stadium/Practice Facility.</p>
<p>Now maybe they are willing to &quot;Buy Out&quot; Youngs contract, but it isn&#39;t as simple as &quot;Well, I think we&#39;ll just go get Young at Miami. Believe it or not but Miami as all other Major Schools, a) has an expensive buyout clause and b) there is enough money (and private money if necessary)to keep him happy - and pay for the best OC available, as well.</p>
<p>It&#39;s for the above reasons you don&#39;t see many coaches, Head or Upper assistant, leave while still contracted.</p>
<p>4) I don&#39;t know what will happen - but OSU just hired who may be their prospective Defensive Coordinator;</p>
<p>Johnny Barr</p>
<p>Professional</p>
<p>• A 37-year veteran of college coaching, Johnny Barr returns to Stillwater after serving as coordinator of on-campus recruiting at Texas A&amp;M from 2004-2008. Barr was co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach under Bob Simmons at Oklahoma State in 1995 and 1996 and was the Cowboys’ outside linebackers coach under Pat Jones from 1986-88.</p>
<p>Also, I would think the in coming DC may want a say in who his assistant coaches will be.</p>
<p>With OSU&#39;s OC Trooper Taylor going to Auburn I see this as an area that needs to be filled as well. </p>
<p>Regardless, with what Young has to work with at the U - Spence, Arthur, etc. The great secondary Freshmen class coming in as well as the experience coming back. I don&#39;t see him leaving anytime soon. </p>
<p>But you never know, he doesn&#39;t seem like the kind of guy that would up and leave after one year. Heck - we didn&#39;t even get a chance to &quot;run him out of town.&quot;</p>
<p>Anyway, as I&#39;ve said - don&#39;t know nor does anyone else. </p>
<p>And as for &quot;Rivals&quot; - these guys are very rarely correct in their &quot;guesses&quot;, but it sure helps to &quot;sell subscriptions.&quot;</p>

<p>Even if Young stays, it&#39;s gonna subtract from the money UM could have spent on the Offensive Coordinator...</p>
<p>And if we lose Young this close to signing day, it will truly suck for the U. Whereas Nix was a liability to recruiting and his firing actually may have excited some of our commitments, such would not be the case with Young. The impression out there is that Young is well-liked by recruits and many look forward to playing for him. </p>
<p>If we lose him this close to signing day, we might lose some of our recruits on D.</p>
<p>Here&#39;s a thought: if we lose Young, maybe Shannon can go back to being the Defensive Coordinator. He sure seems to be doing very little during the games as a Head Coach....</p>IRRELEVANT MY A@@!!!!!!! commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536e4c709970c2009-01-19T20:38:02Z2009-01-19T20:38:03ZIRRELEVANT MY A@@!!!!!!!DA U ---- IRRELEVANT, YOU SUCK!

Manny - do you know what the deal is between Bill Young and OK State? There&#39;s a headline on Rivals.com saying that Oklahoma State is going hard after Bill Young. What&#39;s your opinion on the likelihood that Young will take the job? And if he does take it, how bad will it be for the Canes in terms of recruiting and having a decent defense next year? I&#39;m guessing this is unimaginably bad on both terms but also on the likelihood that Shannon will stick around for another year. Thanks! Keep up the GREAT work!

<p>The Hurricanes are undergoing a high-profile search for an offensive coordinator.</p>
<p>And now, CaneSport has learned, that search may in the near future also include finding a new defensive coordinator.</p>
<p>Oklahoma State, whose athletic department is heavily backed by oil magnate Boone Pickens, has offered Young $700,000 a year to leave the Hurricanes and become the Cowboys defensive coordinator. That is believed to be double his present salary at Miami.</p>
<p>Young has not yet accepted the job, sources said, because he loves working at Miami and sees the near-term potential of the Hurricanes program.</p>
<p>But it&#39;s a precarious position for Miami because Coach Randy Shannon is in the process of searching for an offensive coordinator who also might command a salary higher than what coordinators at Miami have made in the past. Miami just laid off several athletic department employees in a wave of budget cutting.</p>
<p>It&#39;s unclear at this point what kind of raise it will take for the Canes to hang onto Young, but it is fairly certain that any counter offer would not approach the Oklahoma State proposed salary.</p>
<p>Young, 61, is a hot coaching commodity.<br />

Okay let me get this straight we had the number 1 recruiting class in the nation last year. This year we will again be in the top 5 and we have one of the best defensive coordinators in the country (Young), yes I said Young. Add on the fact that Jimmy Johnson is mentoring the program now, face U are screwed. Florida had its run and now it is officially over. If we would of had a real OC this year, who knows what our record would be. So go and cry all U want just like your head coach, but Miami is back boy. I know U hate the swag but it is back. Face it Florida will be irrelevant in two years and everyone will be riding Miami once again, yourself included.</p>

SAN FRANCISCO - ESPN&#39;s primetime telecast of the 2008 Emerald Bowl was the network&#39;s eighth most-watched college football bowl game ever, according to ratings figures compiled by the network.</p>
<p>The Dec. 27 Emerald Bowl, which matched Miami and California, achieved a bowl record 4,535,000 households based on a 4.6 rating.</p>
<p>The Hurricanes lost the highly-contested battle with the Bears, 24-17, before a standing-room-only crowd of 42,268 at AT&amp;T Park in downtown San Francisco.</p>
<p>The game&#39;s 4.6 rating eclipsed the previous Emerald record of 4.5 for the 2006 matchup between Florida State and UCLA. That game now ranks No. 19 in ESPN bowl history.</p>
<p>The Emerald Bowl clash was also ESPN&#39;s No. 2 rated 2008 telecast out of 23 bowl games televised by the network and 9th overall out of 34 post-season bowls. The Champs Sports Bowl, which preceded the Emerald Bowl on ESPN, was the network&#39;s top-rated game.</p>

This team is long and athletic, has depth, can shoot the 3, and is a reboudning team. I&#39;ll even say Haith is a good coach. Definitely a top 25 team, which means they are good enough to win a couple games a year vs a top 10 team, but not likely to win most. However, what keeps them out of the top 25 is what is pretty common at a program with no tradition. For every time they prove how good they are, they fall flat on their face. Haith had it right when he said they have to be tougher. How many good halves has this team had? And how many dreadful halves has this team had -- most times in the very same games! The weaknesses are pretty obvious. Ball handling and transition (defense AND OFFENSE TOO, because if you see Miami on a fast break it usually means out of control charge or blocked shot is on the way). If I am Haith that&#39;s what I work on. Toughness/consistency and their weaknesses. If they can do that, they should be better than last year. Maybe a 11-5 ACC mark, and a 4 seed??? If not, major bubble action. And that would be a disappointment, because since the team is senior heavy this year, this is the best shot they&#39;ll have to make some noise in another 2 or 3 years.</p>Russell commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536e1d98a970c2009-01-19T01:32:40Z2009-01-19T01:32:40ZRussellManny, Just once I'd like to see a UM Basketball team and this goes back to the LHam days play...<p>Manny,</p>
<p>Just once I&#39;d like to see a UM Basketball team and this goes back to the LHam days play a smart and solid 40min game. They go into too many playground type situations of total carelessness. </p>
<p>I don&#39;t like singling anyone out but I&#39;ll use Hurdle as an example taking it full speed down the length of the court only to throw an uncontrolled layup off the glass. And of course the final 3 min of the first half where they turn the ball over in their own end of the court. Inexcusable.</p>caneforlife commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536e1aad0970c2009-01-19T00:45:11Z2009-01-19T00:45:12Zcaneforlifehttp://profile.typekey.com/rwilliam_davis/yo orlando and ss crew, sorry for the delay. i'm over here and let's stay. come on JCanes, suffering, santanafan,...<p>yo orlando and ss crew, sorry for the delay. i&#39;m over here and let&#39;s stay. come on JCanes, suffering, santanafan, MH, adam, Udyn, and all other fellow brethren. shandel has let us down. </p>canesrule 9 'ships commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536d7a7c9970b2009-01-18T21:01:11Z2009-01-18T21:01:11Zcanesrule 9 'shipsWe are officially 19-19 over the past three seasons, that makes us average!

If you heard them they invented the game. Funny thing is that what team wouldn&#39;t be good when they get 4 McDonalds guys every year. UNC was supposed to win and they did. They had guys under performing for a few games and they finally blew up. Bad timing for The U I guess. </p>
<p>But I did see somethings we can take as positives from the game. </p>
<p>D Collins backed Hansb.. into the paint and scored easily multiple times.</p>
<p>D Jones played like a freshman but showed some glimpses of a seriously talented player. Not seen at the U maybe ever.</p>
<p>Jack looked good in the first half and if he doesn&#39;t try to dribble to much we will be fine.</p>
<p>Adrian Thomas will win a game for us this season with his shooting. Look at what Ellington did last night. I could see the same from Thomas.</p>
<p>Other things to consider - M Grant redshirting and he played really well at NOVA when given a chance, D Scott, D Kirk and G Adams are ESPN U 100 players coming in next year. With Eddie leaving that could also bring another player for next year or the year after.</p>
<p>The U bball team is growing and oneday it will make people take notice.

<p>OSU. UNC and Clemson all turned up the heat at a certain point and the Canes buckled because we have no one tobring up the ball, handle it and get us into a set and make the right decisions. It&#39;s frustrating to watch. How did Haith not see this and get a PG in here?</p>
<p>I&#39;ve heard about the Nova transfer but that&#39;s not a help this year and I Rios wasn&#39;t much better.

But Jack tried to put the ball on the floor too much to prove he can drive, and must have had at least 4 to 6 turnovers all of which resulted in points, some three pointers.<br />
Hurdle is obviously a much better ball handler, but now with Rios gone, he cannot play the entire game. This Rios loss, justified or not, is going to hurt us big time in the depth department. </p>AZCanesDude commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536e01b90970c2009-01-18T17:02:22Z2009-01-18T17:02:22ZAZCanesDudeUM needs a solid point guard to beat the full court press.

Once UNC put that press on at the end of the first half, Miami kept turning the ball over or getting discombobulated by the time they got the offensive side of the court. The defense wasn&#39;t bad, they got stuck in bad positions because UNC&#39;s defense was great for the last 26 minutes. Manny, you&#39;re right. UNC is not as good as last year and they certainly seem less focused. If Ellington goes 3 for 9 instead of 7 for 9 from 3-pt land, it&#39;s a different ball game. Hansbrough was a non-factor in the second half offensively.</p>
<p>On another note, I like the non-call on the technical foul early in the game. I think it was Hurdle who got worked up and the referee went over and told him to calm down and then Haith had a few words. From that point on, Miami didn&#39;t lose their temper at any point even when the turnovers added up at the end of the first half. I really appreciated the way that situation was handled by the referees.</p>Wesley commented on 'Beyond The Boxscore: UM-North Carolina'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2010536d68289970b2009-01-18T15:48:43Z2009-01-18T15:48:44ZWesley"We no readae..."
